5 Why did we map to e-cf and e-profiles? To validate the content of our academic curriculum included in the selected programme. To provide higher external transparency about the focus and courses of the selected programme. To gain additional international presence for the selected programme. To re-confirm our internal alignment with the European Commission guidelines for e-skills and e-leadership

6 Three (preliminary) outcomes - Mapping on competency areas of e-cf - Levering concept of proficiency levels - Mapping to e-profiles

7 Demonstration I: competency areas Mapping curricula to E-CF MITGA MEITA MITGA MEITA Understand broad setting of the program Identify missing pieces Differentiate between programs Quality and assurance check to enable continuous improvement

8 Demonstration II: proficiency levels International gateway program for bachelors towards master after master program

9 Demonstration III: mapping to profiles Three pre-defined profiles exist: - Enterprise architecture map to Exec. Master of Enterprise IT - Information Security Governance - Transformation and innovation through IT where to map Exec. Master of IT Governance & Assurance

Designing a business to achieve these goals needs both business and ICT architectural skills. The Business & Enterprise curriculum addresses these challenges and aims to increase the capability of experienced professionals to engage with key stakeholders in linking strategy, architecture, change and value. The focus is both on developing professional competence and enhancing behavioural skills.
